[NKS] Freelance Soundlabs 3rd Party NKS Libraries for Komplete Kontrol / Maschine

Likely however you will find the Addictive Drums works on its own in VST3, just not within KK. I have not tested the VST3 side of things in depth as I assumed and hoped it was all the same as VST2 and I just have little time to even open Ableton these days to test but given how many issues KK has and how many bugs are still there even carried over from v2, my money would be it's another issue NI have to address so users need to do their tests, fid if it is the plugin and report it. I'm dialling way back on doing any of that these days, kind of had enough tbh.

Notice: UVI Falcon Factory library Requirement (for Falcon v3)

Work is underway for the updated Falcon v3 content, no idea when it will be available as yet but hopefully within a few weeks, it's rather a challenge to do as every preset has a different set of macros and sometimes UVI make things rather difficult with how they do their host automation mapping....

While we are on the subject of making things difficult, another thing UVI tend to do is change the library name when they do updates which ends up breaking everything before it in projects. I have become aware of this same problem affecting the new Falcon update which will affect people installing it from scratch, not those who have updated from V2 likely since the original factory library will still be in your library folder.

The issue is the original Falcon library for v1 and v2 was simply called "Falcon Factory.ufs" while the latest version is now "Falcon Factory rev2.ufs" and if you are missing that original factory library file you will receive the following error:

If you receive the "File Not Found" error in Falcon when trying to load a Falcon Factory NKS file, you will need to download the original Falcon library and add this to your falcon library folder. The library file is not an option in the UVI portal but can be downloaded from your account download area on the UVI website.

Head to the "Manage My Products" section under your account menu then click the following link to get the manual downloads from your account.

Download this falcon library file and simply place it in the library path that Falcon scans for libraries:

That's it.

It won't actually appear in your Falcon browser or show duplicates as the browser is smart enough to detect the newer library and simply display that however it does allow past projects and files to load correctly which is why they have it available so this will fix that problem if you run into it.

Now Available: UVI Falcon V3 NKS Library

Falcon V3 overhauls their factory library into a new library file which requires a whole new NKS library to be created and so finally I have this whole library converted and available.

The new V3 library has most of the presets from the previous versions but I have noted that UVI have dropped a number of presets, renamed quite a few and now none of the previous version update info is available which I used to generate banks to sort through updated files. This isn't really an issue, but some like the ability to filter by each update using these banks:

There are now no banks available but if you have the previous V2 NKS library you can simply keep that and add the new one however you will end up with a lot of duplicates as there is no way to filter for the newer presets in V3 from V2 (sadly). Instructions are in the PDF if this is your jam.

This library has custom per-preset macro mapping which also has all controls custom labelled to allow quick and easy control and for blind users, the ability for the voice assist to easily identify what every control is. You will note each preset should mirror the same controls of the preset loaded but I passed the control labels through a cleanup function to make the labels nicer.

All presets have been fully tagged (again) along with previews and additional artwork is now included for the MK3 keyboards so if you have updated to an MK3 keyboard, install and merge the new artwork files.

It should be noted this is a completely new library that had to be done from scratch as it requires a new UVI library for it with v3 so a lot of work was needed to redo it all and of course, the 1500 files all needed to be tagged again from scratch and because there are a lot of very clunky processes and manual work to make the files, so if you happen to find any issues just (politely) contact me detailing the preset name and the issue you have found and I will issue updates where needed but I have literally clicked through every file to tag them so most should be fine.
